Biography

Grant Doty has dedicated his life to serving others – first in the military and now as an attorney fighting for the rights of his legal clients. Grant is licensed to practice law in Missouri (currently inactive in Illinois) and federal court.

Grant grew up in Minnesota and Missouri and graduated from the United States Military Academy. He later earned a master’s degree from Yale University, and his law degree from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C.

Grant retired from the U.S. Army in 2008, after 20 years, and moved back to St. Louis, where he has worked as a lawyer for the past 14 years. He has primarily litigated civil rights, employment, as well as personal injury cases in state and federal court (including cases that have reached the Missouri and United States Supreme Courts).

Grant enjoys running, reading, woodworking, the outdoors, and spending time with his wife and three children.
